Put some sugar on a plate. Moisten the rim of a cocktail glass with a citrus wedge and dip glass into the sugar.
Stir all liquids over ice until very cold and strain into the cocktail glass.

There you have it, now you won't have to wait for the publication of the official Grade "A" Fancy drinks manual. Remember to tune into Rex on the mighty WFMU this Saturday for this holiday season's dedicated cocktail.

December 24, the war on X-mas Eve gets off to a rollicking start as Grade "A" Fancy joins Rex for the annualFool's Paradise Christmas party on the mighty WFMU, the Fun 91, the Freeform Station of the Nation at 91.1 on your fm dial. Rex will remind us, one and all, of the reason for the season as he celebrates the American Novelty Songbook in true Fool's Paradise style, spinning your favorite (?) holiday-themed selections at 45 r.p.m. And Grade "A" Fancy's own chief mixomatologist, Karen McBurnie, will once again unveil a brand new cocktail to make your spirits bright, live on air! "Bartender of the Airwaves" is a unique piece of radio broadcast history. Don't you dare miss it! The fun happens from 1 to 3pm EST and you can find WFMU at 91.1 here in the tri-state area, 90.1 in the Hudson Valley, or streaming live at WFMU.org on the interwebs. If you insist on spending the day with family the show will be archived so you'll be able to enjoy the radio hi-jinx at your leisure for years to come.
